Supported args

Example

docker build --build-arg postgres_version=10.4 -t postgres-ora-fdw:10.4 .

Create Foreign Data Wrapper

Enter into container

docker exec -it test-postgres bash

then

psql

then create the extension and the connection to remote DB

CREATE EXTENSION oracle_fdw;
CREATE SERVER oradb FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER oracle_fdw
          OPTIONS (dbserver '//<host>:1521/<database>');
GRANT USAGE ON FOREIGN SERVER oradb TO postgres;
CREATE USER MAPPING FOR postgres SERVER oradb OPTIONS (user 'user', password 'password');

then import table (this is like creating a symbolic link to remote database, no data is imported)

IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA "<foreignSchemaName>"
    FROM SERVER oradb
    INTO <localSchemaName>;
